A fluorescent 'brainbow' map of the connecting nerve cells in a brain by Harvard's Jeff Lichtman, which shows patterns of fibres interconnecting to form a 3D brain | The 3D maps will allow us to see 'inside' the workings of the brain for the first time, claim the scientists |
For a long time it was thought that the brain was a mass of tangled wires, but researchers recently found that its fibers are actually set up like a chess board, crossing at right-angles | Thomas R Insel, the director of the National Institute for Mental Health, said: 'Getting a high-resolution wiring diagram of our brains is a landmark in human neuroanatomy' |
A team from Harvard Medical School in the USA have set about meticulously logging more than 100 billion nerve cells and neurons in the human brain | Professor Van Wedeen's team has cracked how to 'map' the interior of the brain for the first time |
Geoff Lichtman's 'tagging' technique 'lights up' the fibres of a mouse brain | Using advanced MRI screening technology they are uncovering the anatomical features of our minds that have previously been undetectable | |
A map of the human brain showing the connecting nerve cells in our minds by Van Wedeen | Curvature in this image of a whole human brain turns out to be folding of 2D sheets of parallel neuronal fibers that cross paths at right angles |
